[wonderingpanda]

Tottmnt crushing headcanons? I finished the series and I'm obsessed!!

A Crush

Tottmnt!Turtles x Reader

I don’t have much to say for this other than, enjoy!

Leo

We’ve all seen what Leo is like with a crush

He’s an absolute mess

Leo was head over heels in love from day one

I know it’s extremely cliche but he can’t help it, it’s just how he is

He’ll be doodling you in his sketch book, daydreaming about you, imagining every possibility of what could happen whenever you two hang out

He loves to spend quality time with you and will make an effort to get it whenever he can

Even in class, if he has the chance to sit next to you “coincidentally” he’ll take it

And if you try to work with him on something, omg

Leaning into him to see his laptop, handing him a pencil, even if you just scoot closer to look at a textbook

He’ll be a flustered mess, he can’t handle it

He is paying attention to every physical exchange you two ever have I swear to god

Every moment, every second he will cherish with you

And his brothers tease him

Ruthlessly

An example would be one time in lunch

Leo was getting bullied by his brothers and you happened to walk by at the worst possible time

Ugh, I’m so tired! What did you just have? Math. But aren’t you normally good at math? Yes! But for some reason I was too tired to focus. Too tired or too busy thinking about Y/n Shut up. What about me?

Thankfully for Leo, you heard nothing but your name however it was still a close call

Another thing, he wishes he had the chance to look into your eyes

It might sound a little random but he’d love to just examine them and look at you freely

(Also, he read somewhere that people have a higher chance of falling in love when looking into each other’s eyes so…)

For the most part though, he’s just trying his best to hang out with you while secretly admiring your every being

Maybe one day he’ll tell you how he feels

One day

Raph

Raph doesn’t have a crush, he doesn’t get them

And on you of all people? Please

You bumped into him once, got all rude and snarky and now it seems you’re trying to one-up him in just about everything!

You’re a menace who’s so annoying that he can’t stop thinking about you

Seriously, he thinks about you a lot

Your strength, grades, social status, looks

But it’s not because he finds you attractive

No, he’s just trying to come up with creative ways to insult you

Like those stupid pretty eyes, weak

Or he could mention how you spend too much time on your hair since it looks so perfect everyday

Stupid pretty human

…

Yeahhhh

This guy is incredibly stubborn in accepting he has a crush

He’s even more stubborn when it comes to acting on said crush after finally accepting that he has one

Every time you talk to him it fills his body with so much energy that he just wants to punch someone

Which is normally what he does, typically one of his brothers

He doesn’t really understand when you try to be nice to him since it’s almost set in his mind that you hate him

Changing your relationship from a (one sided) rivalry to a friendship is just really confusing for him, but he‘s happy about it nonetheless

And while you do spark something in him that makes him inherently more aggressive, your presence can also calm him down

One time he saw you using a method of stress relief and asked about it

That was also the day Raph learned about coping mechanisms

It was an odd conversation to say the least

He’s pretty good at hiding how he feels when it counts so he doesn’t get too flustered around you

But be warned, if you do anything to show of your strength wether it be through flirting or showing off

He will be broken, frozen, prepared to get down on one knee and offer you a ring pop

What can I say, he has a thing for strong people

He can still be a bit on edge when accused of harbouring romantic feelings of any sort

But he’ll admit to it when he’s ready

Just wait

Donnie

Donnie doesn’t want to admit he has a crush

But he soooo has a crush

He’s the type to blush and feel flustered all the time

He’s scared to hold a normal conversation with you because he can’t have one without acting awkward

He notices you any time you’re in his eye view

His main strategy to get to know you is casually bring up common interests in hopes you’ll latch onto a conversation with him

He’ll be particularly excited if he discovers you’re a K-pop stan

And if you even know what AOT stands for, he’s set

He likes to imagine what life would be like if you guys dated

He’ll avoid eye contact but try to look at you

And when his brothers find out well…

They’re going to tease him but he is the designated holder of blackmail so revenge is easy for him to deliver

If he ever has to save you, the poor thing

He’ll be panicking 24/7 trying to make sure you get out alive and unscathed

Even after it’s all over he’ll still be checking you for injuries and hugging you tight for reassurance

You might disappear into thin air, he can’t risk that

Will 100% try to show off in math and science

And robotics? Stand back because he’s about to send all expectations through the roof

Literally, he once almost blew up the roof of a classroom from one of his experiments

Donnie wants to confess and gets closer to doing so each day but for now he’s happy where his is with you

Just two classmates slowly bonding over pop culture and near-death experiences

Fun times

Mikey

Mikey I imagine would come off as extroverted at first but underneath is just a shy little sweetheart

He’s your number 1 fan, going to every concert, show, game, event, whatever you have going on

He doesn’t try to hide it from his brothers too much

Like, if they ask him about you he’ll just start kicking his feet and going into full detail

Loves giving you hugs, hugs are the best

And once you get close enough he’ll even lean on you from time to time

If you ever compliment him, you’ll get one of two responses

The first is that he’ll blush and act extremely bashful, waving it off completely

The second is that he’ll accept it with full grace and go on to bring up every story he has relating to said compliment

He also has a thing for “playful flirting” where he’ll act like it’s all jokes because you’re friends

This is how he gets away with looking at you for a prolonged amount of time, lifting up your chin with his finger (this one is more of a joke as I think we’ve all done it with our friends at least once), carrying you bridal style, hugging you from behind

He’ll call you gorgeous and laugh it off like he was just messing around :l

I will say, out of all the brothers he’s come the closest to confessing

Valentine’s Day, he noticed how you wouldn’t stop talking about wanting to celebrate it

So naturally he made you a card and got all the stereotypical gifts

Chocolate, flowers and even a little plushy he found

Mikey! You got me all this? Thank you! Seriously, this is so sweet, I need to give you something in return Don’t mention it, you deserve it Was there something you were wanting to tell me as well? …

He couldn’t do it, I’m so sorry

He couldn’t tell if you were joking or not

Besides, what was he meant to say? You’re really pretty Y/n, and funny and sweet and I‘m madly in love with you.

Oh wait

I hope you liked reading this. Have an awesome day/night wherever you are!✨

[terrifying-acceptance]

BOOM!! MORE ART!!

lil drawing i made of tottmnt donnie, he's so silly i can't wait for him to be traumatized in the new series

NO ONE IS MORE EXCITED THAN ME FOR THE NEW SERIES, I'VE BEEN LITERALLY COUNTING THE DAYS AND WE'VE GOT 19 MORE UNTIL TOTTMNT

[thisbarbiereallylikesbirds]

my thoughts on tottmnt

Okay! I finished the series a few days ago, and now that it's had time to marinate in my brain I think I'm ready to explain my thoughts.

In broad strokes, there are things that I liked and things that I didn't. I totally think it is worth the watch if your interested in it.

The Bad

The VA situation, I understand that getting celebrity voice actors back for a small and likely low budget production is difficult. But in that case, they really should recast or work around it. The most obvious example of this problem is Splinter. I didn't really like that they just had him speak Vermin. You could've just recast him for the show.

The framing devices, more so in arc 2 than arc 1. I think Leo's little comic thing was cute, but the framing device of the interview in the second arc was just overly complicated and in my opinion kind of not needed. I know it was to help with the whole voice actor situation but like it wouldn't have been an issue if Splinter had just been recast for the series.

Bishop, now this might just be my own personal bias since 2003 Bishop is one of my favorite tmnt villains, but this Bishop just didn't hit as hard. I also thought that her motivation was kind of weak. I kept thinking that her hatred of mutants came from whatever happened to her sister, but that wasn't the case. From what we learn in the series, the only thing that happened to her sister was that she was born without legs. And the only thing that mutants ever did to affect Bishop was stepping on her robot (she literally still had the plans AND a second robot too). Now I'm not saying this is totally bad, but the show itself doesn't seem to get that her frustration isn't totally justified. I do have hope for the future of this character due to the introduction of the EPF (plus the voice actress is very good and I can't wait to hear more of her hopefully in the next mutant mayhem movie).

The boys didn't go to school :(

The Good

THE PURPLE DRAGONS!! I loved them, they completely ruled every second they were on screen. Angel is amazing, Hun is ADORABLE, and the introduction of who is probably Casey is VERY exciting. Both of their episodes were my favorite of each arc. I can't wait to see more of them in the future. I honestly can't put into words how much I love this iteration of the Purple Dragons. They're just so much fun.

The animation, it was so very pretty and the fight scenes were SUPER well done. Considering what a short timeline this project had to be completed the visuals of this series were absolutely ASTOUNDING!!

The separation, I really enjoyed getting to see the boys stand on their own. We really got the chance to understand them as individuals and the character building was very well done in my opinion.

[dysfunctional-doodle]

too many turtles chapter drop on my birthday let’s gooooo

(if i accidentally sent an ask too soon then. oops)

1. that sounds like a fucking AWESOME sandwich

2. that’s such a mikey and donnie thing to do omg

one of my favourite gags of this fic is raph reacting to the fourth wall breaking with this irritated and tired confusion,,,,, honestly any turtle reacting to the fourth wall breaks is gold

raph honey it’s 2024 among us is dead……….. (hehehhehehehhee. because. in among us. you. heheh. you die. hhehehshheheh)

ADORABLE!!!!!!!!! MORE MAMA RAPH PLEASE

GOD this is SUCH an accurate depiction of an adhd friendgroup i SWEARRRRR

once again 2012 mikey proves to be just like me because we used to have a yamaha keyboard and all i would do on it was spam press the funny sound effects. god that’s such a fun thing to do (also i love the sound of the metal pipe crashing ??????????????? idk why it’s funny?????????????????????? sometimes i try to recreate the sound to reference that one post that goes something like ‘*beats you with a metal pole* sorry. accident. *beats you with a metal pole* sorrgy. *beats you with a metal pole* *peats you with a metal pole* *beats you with a metal pole*. why are you bleeding’)

i applaud the patience to answer those questions. please share some with me pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease

ah, impulse control. i love how literally none of them have it

the instant regret…… i know it well. (biggest examples of me instantly being crushed with “oh shit, i shouldn’t have done that, dumb idiot brain” was when i poured yoghurt on my friend’s head (i didn’t even think about it. i just did it. and i freaked out) and when i kicked a baby doll at a drawer at my grandma’s little bonus kawalerka thing and completely shattered a vase that was probably quite a bit older than me (i had no idea i could kick that well oh my god…. (wait that was exactly two years ago i swear this happened on my fourteenth birthday??? crazy how time passes))

well that went!

awesome chapter as per the norm!!!!!!!!!!!! love when the fic gets silly (as awesome as the angst is too i definetly prefer shenanigans)

anyways how excited are you for tales of the tmnt?

Happy birthday!

And I am eager to watch tottmnt but it comes out a day later in the UK 😭

[the-peak-tmnt]

Not a question, but I came here because I just have endless praise for this entire fic. I literally haven't stopped thinking about it for days!!

I'm gonna be honest, I watched mutant mayhem on opening day and didn't think too much about it. I grew up on tmnt, I'm a huge fan of 2012, rise, I've seen every movie out there but this one didn't hit the same at first. The only reason I read reciprocity was because I saw some of its amazing fanart and it made me curious (I also rarely read fics lol) but when I started I read the entire thing in less than a week. It's made me appreciate mutant mayhem a lot more, especially Raph and Leo, and now I can't wait for not only more of your fic but also tottmnt and the sequel in 2026!! Thanks for your amazing work AND for converting me into a fan 😭

THIS IS SO AWESOME TO HEAR!

Like wow, I am SO flattered! This is kind of making my heart explode because I really, really, really love this movie, and this makes me feel like I'm sharing that love in a way that's drawing someone else in 😭

Even though I love it so much, I completely understand why other people didn't love or even like Mutant Mayhem. It's super different and a huge departure from traditional TMNT media in many ways.

But for me, there's just so much about it that tickles my brain in a way I can hardly describe. I still remember seeing the first trailer and feeling like a switch had been flipped inside my head. I just like, instantly knew this was going to be The Thing For Me. I could go on and on and on about how much I love Mutant Mayhem and why, but one of the most important things I learned in film school about storytelling was "show, don't tell." I've been trying to "show" all of these reasons in my writing, and I'm so so SO happy to hear that it's is coming through in Reciprocity.

I'm also super grateful for all of the incredible fan art that people have made, or to those who've posted about/shared things about the fic that have drawn others into giving Reciprocity a try.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment! This has seriously made me so happy ❤️

Day 140 of waiting for Tales of the Tmnt!

Has this been done yet

[jasminegazer]

Karai Storyline for Tottmnt

I did Venus and Jennika before her and feel just a tad guilty(check out Vees story here and Jenn’s story here). So here it is. Again these are just ideas that I thought would be cool. This also connects to my fanfic Difference Between The Appearance which is still midway through the process(Check that out here). I’m also going to give some quick background knowledge on the Foot and the Hamatos.

Background on Hamatos and Foot clans aka Shredders origin story: The Foot clan was founded by the Hamatos sworn protectors from ancient Japan made and trained to keep outraging demons and yokai from destroying all of humanity. Over centuries after the great battles of the past they had resolved to a peace waiting for when the day came to rise up and protect the world once again. At least that’s what it used to be. The last generation’s heirs to the clan’s power, Hamato Yoshi and his adopted little brother Oroku Saki, were the beginning of the great change. When their mother died, Yoshi gave up his power to Saki knowing that he himself was not ready for such responsibilities (the responsibilities and power that Saki had been dreaming of since the day he had joined the family). For the first 10 years things were fine. Saki lead the clan with Yoshi as his highest advisor and the man he trusted more than anyone else. He even fell in love and married a woman named Tang Shen. She was deeply devoted yet also independent and strong helping any all she could. She even joined the clan and trained to be able to fight by her love’s side. This love was the next crack in the Hamato legacy. Dispute between gangs in New York were brought to the clans attention. At the time(2013/2014) Saki and Shen had a child, Karai. The couple(and mainly Yoshi) decided to move the Hamato clan to New York since it had the most gang disputes that came in contact with the biggest hidden yokai city in the world: The Hidden City. On one of Tang Shens patrols a gang of unruly young mafia men decided that kidnapping her and Yoshi would probably give some great advantages in the criminal underworld attacked. Yoshi was there when she was shot and killed before what little crew was left after the attack. Saki however did not accept this. He got angry and blamed his brother for not telling the truth of what happened. He believed that there was no way that his Shen could have fallen to such sloppy work. He had heard the stories of mutants coming in and out of New Yorks news reports. Saki assumed that they were the ones that killed his Sakura flower. His rage only continued to fume when his own brother couldn’t be trusted and his 5 year old daughter stepped in front of his traitorous brother to protect him. Saki lashed out killing Yoshi but accidentally giving Karai fatal wounds. He went mad and rushed his daughter to the very illegal yet very effective treatment of TCRI. Using threats of death and money, Saki forced them to fix his daughter and unknowingly turn her into the first semi successful super soldier. Saki was never the same after that night the fun loving and impulsive man he was was twisted into a ruthless assassin bent on manipulating his story into a story of a hero avenging his family and killing every mutant until they became a thing of the cruel past. He became the Shredder. He spent the rest of his life turning the calm protectors of the Hamato Clan into the merciless fierce warriors of the Foot Clan. Saki convinced the clan, his daughter, and even himself that mutants were the blame for the deaths of Yoshi and Shen. Instead of secretive recruits for the gifted he authorized raids in which homes were set aflame and children were kidnapped or dragged from off the streets. The world seemed lost losing its only protectors who could fight such a threat. But legend says that every 10 generations a gift child in the Hamato bloodline would be given the ability to create spiritual chi stronger than any being known to both yokai and human kind. That chi was Yoshis gift passed from Tang Shen into the afterlife. They say that this gifted child can help guide one student through corruption when the world was twisted into a mess. That world was the world Karai and the Turtles lived in.

Karai: Though she doesn’t remember much Karai does share a few memories with her mother. Sadly she also shares memories of her uncle and what happened that night. The night she was turned into a half snake mutant girl living in the anti mutant beliefs of her father. Thankfully one of the scientists saw that the 5 year old girls father was clearly not going to be as merciful as last time if he found out his child was one of the things he hated with bloodlust. The half yokai scientist instructed Karai and supplied her with an elixir to keep the snake side effects of the super soldier serum at bay and giving off the illusion that the only successful thing it did was save her from death. After recovering from the attack, Karais father told her mutants had attacked the Foot and that her mother and her uncle died in the process. Enraged by the loss of her mother and uncle and afraid of what new changes had happened to her father that made him so scary now, she let him try to mold her into a fierce easily controlled cunning warrior. Though she believed in what she was raised in to some extent the feeling that what her father was thinking was off combined with her memory of what happened that night still panged at the back of her head until she did find out the whole truth. When she was 7 Jennika was taken into the Foot and Karai begged for her to become her new adopted sister. Though they both got the same treatment from the Shredders rage, Karai tried to get that anger to be shied away from her sister. Karai thought since she was older and had dealt with the Shredder her whole life only she, rebels, and mutants deserved to have to deal with his angry fits. Eventually the Foot finally got a good lead on mutants when they literally walked onto to the cities doorsteps without hesitation or consequence. After Superfly’s attack Karai was assigned to spy on the turtles and gather information so the Foot could successfully take them out without objection from the public. She went Eastman High and though she tried not to became friends with April she couldn’t resist the noisy girls likeliness. Karai actually became so close she almost got in trouble and tried to warn her friend not to dig deep into the Foot Clan and expose them knowing April would be abducted and assassinated. But her freind was stubborn. So stubborn in fact that Karai was coaxed into meeting the turtles. When she did Karai was shocked by how young and innocent they sounded, looked, and acted. Almost like her and Jennika. Later on when she was sent to attack and had the chance to kill both Donnie and Raph in one blow she softened. Their fear and Donnies weak attempt to protect a wounded Raph seemed too eerily similar to how she felt the night of her attack. After that she started to turn to the turtles side and coaxed Jennika into doing the same. But she was also running out of elixir because her supplier had died 2 years before. Eventually it caught up to her and she transformed into her full unruly snake soldier form. Thankfully the turtles and their sister, Venus, caught her and found a way to revert her to a midway between mutant and human. As Venus described it she was beautiful and perfect. Karai felt perfect and whole this way not too much exposed and nothing being bottled up. She felt free and decided to leave the foot. Moments after said revelation, Jennika called her and said she found the Shredders true plans. Midway through the call the Shredder took Jenn captive and forced Karai to meet at a rendezvous point to trade herself for Jennika’s life. Luckily the two survived now both mutants and allies alongside the turtles. Leo and April became her closest friends and Venus became her girlfriend. Karai was free to be her independent strong and even a little bit of a goof and delinquent self for the red of her life

Sooooooooooooo . . . . . . .

That’s my storyline for Karai in Tottmnt. Comment or just ask if you have a character you want me to do next in Tottmnt or if I should stop and these are bad. Cowabunga turtle fans 🐢🐍
